Improved downlink control information decoding is disclosed herein. Downlink control information, can be in different formats depending on the rank of transmission from the network to the user equipment device. For instance, if the transmission rank is between 1 and 4, the transmission will be a single codeword transmission, while a rank of 5-8 can have two codewords. The downlink control information can have a different format, or structure depending on the number of codewords. The user equipment device can predict whether a single codeword transmission or a multicode codeword transmission is more likely, and attempt to decode the downlink control information using the corresponding format. If the first pass is unsuccessful, the user equipment device can make a second pass decoding based on the alternate format of downlink control information.
